Patient's question:
In the past year, I've been experiencing a heavy and distended sensation in my lower abdomen, lower back pain, a slight decrease in libido, and symptoms of frequent and urgent urination. I've also noticed the repeated appearance of small veins on my scrotum, which have burst. The scrotum feels uncomfortable, and the condition hasn't subsided for a long time. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was varicocele. What treatment method for varicocele is the best?Doctor's answer:
For mild varicocele, surgical treatment is generally not required. Conservative treatment, such as avoiding tight clothing or taking medication, is usually sufficient. Moderate to severe varicocele must be treated surgically because blood retention in the dilated veins leads to a decrease in testicular temperature, which affects sperm development. In daily life, it is important to avoid prolonged standing or sitting, frequent intense exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and spicy or irritating foods.Medical Advice: Treatment methods vary depending on the condition. It is recommended that patients do not undergo treatment. Regardless of the illness being treated, it is essential to first accurately identify the underlying cause and then implement targeted therapy. It is advised to seek examination and diagnosis from a reputable and professional hospital to clarify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Do not miss the best opportunity for treatment.
